President Masoud Pezeshkian asserts that Iran will not accept pressure aimed at forcing the country into submission, stressing that the Islamic Republic would continue to defend what it regards as its rights and maintain its military and defensive capabilities, Press TV reports.
“If they seek to force us into submission, we will fight. We will not back down, nor will we bow our heads. When we are capable of securing our rights, why should we travel down a path that is desired by Israel?” the chief executive said in the third and final part of a televised broadcast aired on Friday, marking the second anniversary of his inauguration.
